My blog may begin to sound as if I never like anything. I am not a poetry person. I do not enjoy poetry for no reason other than the childish I just do not like it. Although I dislike poetry, Donne's Holy Sonnet #14 was not all bad. Never would I have thought that a poem about a relationship with God could seem like a raunchy sex poem. It reads as a risque dirty work but it is so very clean. Donne is calling for God to take him over completely, protect him, become a part of him, but yet do not let him get away with anything. What a poem!
At a time when most works were of Christain background Holy Sonnet #14 fits in well with others, but in a stand-out way. Well done, Donne.
